Amendment to the Open Meetings Act

A recent amendment to the Open Meetings Act
requires an employer who participates in the
lllinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) to
post on its website, or at its principal office if it
does not have a website, two (2) categories of
employees: those employees with a total
compensation package in excess of $75,000
and those employees with a total compensation
package equal to or greater than $150,000.
These changes were part of Public Act 97-609,
the Pension Reform Bill.

The City of Momence currently has one employee whose salary and benefits packages surpass $75,000 - Superintendant Scott Behrends. There are no employees who surpass the $150,000 plateau.
